This study was conducted in fields in the Boumerdes region near Algiers, Algeria between April and September 2019. Two species of Coccinellini, Coccinella septempunctata algerica (Kovàr, 1977) and Hippodamia variegata (Goeze, 1777) were recorded as hosts of the parasitoid Dinocampus coccinellae (Schrank, 1802). The percentage of parasitism observed during the sampling was low. Our results suggest that D. coccinellae is not well adapted to Harmonia axyridis (Pallas, 1773). This work shows that the parasitoid has a greater preference for C. septempunctata algerica than for H. variegata (16.7 % versus 2.2 % of parasitism). Given the low percentage of parasitism due to D. coccinellae, it does not seem that this parasitoid is able to reduce the effectiveness of biocontrol by ladybeetles. This is the first published record of Dinocampus coccinellae as a parasitoid of C. septempunctata algerica in Algeria.

The harlequin ladybird Harmonia axyridis (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) is one of the most common invasive alien species in the world, which has a global impact on biodiversity and agriculture, and causes economic loss and harm to humans. This insect can be infected by different natural enemies, but their interactions remain understudied. In the present study, 581 adult Ha. axyridis specimens were collected from 21 localities in Hungary with the help of citizen scientists and examined for natural enemies. The parasitic nematode Parasitylenchus bifurcatus (Nematoda: Allantonematidae) is reported in Hungary on the harlequin ladybird for the first time. The ladybirds were also infected by the ectoparasitic fungus Hesperomyces virescens (Ascomycota: Laboulbeniales) and parasitoid Dinocampus coccinellae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae). The nematode parasite was present in all localities where Hesperomyces-infected ladybirds appeared. The prevalence of recorded natural enemies varied by locality: for P. bifurcatus it ranged from 1% to 8%; for He. virescens from 2% to 36%; and for the parasitoid it was 4%. Besides, a statistically significant positive correlation was shown between the nematode and the fungus co-infection using Spearman’s correlation. A study on the multiparasitism of harlequin ladybirds was not yet performed in Hungary. The study area is located between two distant areas in Europe where co-infections had already been observed, indicating that this is probably not a sporadic phenomenon, but that parasitism of the harlequin ladybird by multiple natural enemies might be prevalent throughout the area.

AbstractUnderstanding of habitat favourability has wide relevance to the invasion biology of alien species. We studied the seasonal dynamics of the alien ladybird Harmonia axyridis (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) in monoculture Scots pine forest stands in south-west Slovakia, Central Europe, from April 2013 to March 2015. Adult H. axyridis were collected monthly across seven randomly selected pine stands of different ages and canopy closure, from the lower branches of pine trees, and larvae were recorded qualitatively. Adults were recorded all year round, most abundantly in November and least abundantly in February. The relationship between the abundance of H. axyridis and selected forest stand characteristics was modelled using the negative binomial Generalized Additive Model with penalized spline component in month (seasonality) effect, year, canopy closure and age effects and the random effect of forest stand (sample area effect). The abundance of H. axyridis was significantly influenced by the age of stand and seasonality (with month granularity) for both closed and open canopy stands, whereas the effects of canopy closure and sample area were not significant. The bimodal pattern of seasonal dynamics of H. axyridis on Scots pine was common for closed and open canopy stands, with two peaks reflecting the cyclic movement of the species from and to overwintering sites. Harmonia axyridis utilized certain pine stands preferably for foraging during the growing season and certain stands for refuge during winter. The ladybirds were found in highest numbers in the 15 year old closed canopy stand (overwintering site). The occurrence of both adults and larvae in most stands indicated a suitability of Scots pine forest for ladybird breeding. The model of year-round dynamics of H. axyridis has been presented for the first time within the invaded range of the ladybird in Europe.
